Equine Training Research Paper

Streamlining Chaos Deciding on my career was a bumpy road. I went through at least 5 different career choices before settling, at last, on equine trainer, more commonly known as horse trainer. After all the research I have done, I still feel that this is the right choice for me. I have never felt this calm and sure about a career decision before. It feels right.

I will also be working 6-7 days a week as opposed to only working 5 days a week. Whereas the 9-5 job has office equipment to buy, I will have training equipment to buy as well as equipment maintenance to pay for. Not too bad, seeing as my equipment will last
